Friendship Elementary School

My child has attended this school for 3 years. I have a very high opinion of the teachers here. They are caring and helpful for the most part. My opinion of the principal is not so high, she seems aloof and definitely plays favorites with her own child and other KISD employees' children. It's aways obvious when they are in the same classes together..and featured on video and the school website. Sad :( This is the principals last year and I am excited for a new principal. The VP is pretty stone faced and has never spoken to me personally in the hallways, and I am at the school frequently as a room parent. The office staff could also improve their people skills in my opinion as well. Being the first thing a parent sees when visiting their child's school should be a positive experience. Like I said, I am impressed with the teachers, not so much w/ the admin & the best news all year is that the current principal is leaving. Hopefully with her leaving the teachers will be able to improve the campus and test scores under new leadership!

I've worked in education for 15 years and feel great about my daughter's education at Friendship. Teachers are knowledgeable, staff is friendly, and the school is safe and well run. Everyone is welcome and a child receives a year's worth of education in a year's time. Art, music, PE and character education work well into a full day of academics.

I thought about home school, but decided to bring my child to this school, and I've been very happy. Staff always have smiles and are always willing to help.

I've never seen a principal as dedicated as Mr. Hood. Most of his staffs are friendly and helpful. I just hope that they could put all the Gifted and Talented students in one class so they do not have to pull them out from their regular class to attend GT classes. Both of my boys are in GT program and they both love it. Let's support KISD P.A.G.E.!
